Hello,   My friend has a picture of the cottage taken about 100 years ago, it has Aboyne engraved into the stone above the door.  There was some kind of wooden fretwork above the upstairs windows.  It looks like there was a row of three terraced cottages.   Hope this helps.   Regards Yvonne ________________________________ From: John Lovie <[email protected]> To: 'Yvonne' <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 5 September 2013, 12:08 Subject: RE: [ABERDEEN] Aboyne Cottage, Kemnay Hi Yvonne,   Have a look at this page:  http://www.192.com/places/ab/ab51-5/ab51-5rn/ .    On this list, there’s an Aboyne Cottage at 22 Kendal Road in Kemnay.  I drove along there about an hour ago, if I’d known I’d have slowed down and looked.  There are a fair number of older houses along this road, so it’s quite possibly your one.  If the link doesn’t work, all I did was google “Aboyne Cottage” and Kemnay together, it was the second or third hit.   I know Craigievar Castle, but I fear I’m not very well up on the rules on what you have to do to get born there.  I would certainly expect a gamekeeper to have lived close by, probably in a cottage.   Regards, John   From:Yvonne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 September 2013 11:40 To: John Lovie; [email protected] Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] Aboyne Cottage, Kemnay   Hello John/listers,   I wondered if anyone knew of a cottage called "Aboyne Cottage", possibly in Kemnay?  If so, is it still standing?   My friend's gr grandmother lived there possibly around 1870's namely Alice Elizabeth Morgan.  My friend has a photograph of her g grandmother standing in front of the house door and it shows house name above the door.  She knows that he gr grandmother lived in Aberdeen.    Also, according to Alice Elizabeth's birth certificate she was born in Craigievar Castle (her father was a gamekeeper). Would the family have lived within the castle grounds for her to be born in the castle?   Any help and advice would be appreciated.   Regards Yvonne
